The Lawn Bee.  Lasioglossum imitatum.  If you are looking for bees in any urban/suburban/highly disturbed habitat in the East, you will find this bee.  Small even for a Lasioglossum, it loves whatever conditions it loves about lawns and beat up habitats.  A survivor, a crow and sparrow bee that surely is not on the list of declining bees species.  To save this bee you should put in a ball diamond.  Would it be so easy for the rest of the species.  Probably fond of small invasive fast food pollen, I am not sure how much quantification there has been of its diet.  Id wise, it has wide cheeks and tiny thick bright white prostrate hairs on its abdomen that occur in nice parallel lines (not too obvious in this series of shots).  Picture by Erick Hernandez.

Kora.

Today during the night Kora passed away. She was a legendary polish singer, leader of a rock band Maanam. Kora was an ‘Icon of freedom’. She died after a long fight with cancer, in her house surrounded by nature, her family and pets. Rest in peace Kora!
